Change the structure of response json

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello Shay,

I have a years using compass, now I see elasticsearch, I want to play
with it.

With ElasticSearch I could do:

  1. in "search" return a json structure different from the index?.

Example:
index:
{
"User": "kimchy"
"PostData": "2009-11-15T14: 12:12"
"Message": "trying out Elastic Search"
}

and search:
{
"_shards": {
"Total": 5,
"Successful": 5,
"Failed": 0
}
"Hits": {
"Total": 1,
"Hits": [
{
"_index": "Twitter"
"_type": "Tweet"
"_id": "1"
"_source": {
"User": "kimchy"
"Today": "2010-04-15T14: 12:12", / / calculated
dynamically, today's date
"Message": "trying out Elastic Search"
"Days": 180 / / calculated dynamically, the rest
of today-postData
}
}
]
}
}

Moreover, in some cases might omit some control information, do not
send "_index", "_type", and "_id". This is possible?

  1. I'm thinking that elasticsearch respond directly to requests from a
    browser.
    A website made jsonp requests to search in elasticsearch, and respond
    json for rendering in browser with PURE (http://beebole.com/pure/)
    Think this solution is viable

Thanks, and sorry for my language mistakes

Hi,

Regarding the first question, I am thinking of something very similar to
enable in elasticsearch. Basically, allow to augment the results with more
information. I have an idea on how to do this, but it will be at least 0.8
before I will try and tackle this. For now, you can front elasticsearch with
your own server that augments the data.

What do you think about having "templates" response on the server?.
Could do this as a module in elasticsearch?

This can be done, but will be less powerful then what I suggested since in
the template, you will only have access to the response you got, and not
additional data (for example, when searching). This can also be developed as
a plugin, btw.

ok, I'm going to use a server front, and watch out for this
functionality you mention, would be great.
Thanks for your work and effort
